That can be very hard when you’re not making a high income. if your not able to save a lot at your job you might be better off learning about real estate, learning how to be a landlord, and focusing on a new career that can get you the income to buy real estate. it’s a tough pill to swallow but I got into the trades and now have the skills to fix my property and starting to get the income needed to keep going. 

Primary residence 2600/ per month at 2.75% Saved up  96K and 94 k in Heloc I can save up to 1500 / per month from my full time job . 

I decided not to BRRRR and definitely not flip - the construction management company advised me that these are way too big rehab jobs for me to take on 2000 miles say.

What do you suggest in my scenario?

$50k is not enough to make alternative financing work because even at an embarrassing interest rate the investor will only make a few thousand - not enough to justify the time, document prep, risk assessment etc.I'd suggest that you get a realtor to put up the money, take a mortgage plus a few points of the selling price.

@Jonathan Greene  Thank you for your suggestion.

We do have the stress test, which means most of the people with new mortgages would have been able to afford higher interest rates...assuming they didn't move to a lower paying job and rates are at or below the level they were stress tested at. 

I do suggest you see if Strive is a good match (my wife is a member, but not a partner/owner).By the way the best of best have requirements such as net worth over $50m and cost $50k+.  

Where you would suggest looking or does anyone have any recommendations?

Also visiting their job site is a great way to see their quality.
